One Stray Thot....Alcohol....

As time goes by, I’m sure many of these stray thoughts (or WTF? or Wait, what about…moments) will rise up in our soggy little brains, so here’s mine for today:

As the colonists were moving off, carrying their duffle bags with them, did anyone hear the clinking of bottles?

What are these people going to do w/o their alcohol?!? :confused:

Adama, Tigh, Ellen; not long for this Earth. :wink:

(Unless Farmer Baltar can brew beer and fast.)

I saw the subject line of this thread and I thot there were free drinks for me or something. Oh well.
-Thot

They have enough stuff to build stills. And all the natural ingredients they need. Heck - you can make alcohol out of just about anything that grows.

Thotful guy:

Sure, free drinks for you! Where do I send them?:slight_smile:

Ot:

I’m not sure sure they have ‘equipment’ for fermentation, even if all they need is a barrel. I think it’ll take them awhile if they truly left everything behind.

But then again, that ‘left everything behind’ is improbable and is just symbolic of breaking the cycle, I think.

That was probably the second thing that Adama built after he landed on that mountain.

  1. Dream cabin
  2. Dream still

I was just commenting to my wife that this show has a lot of drinking in it. Guess that is why it came on at 10:00 pm instead of 8:00 (primetime)

Well, Bill Adama may or may not be off the sauce in his new role as a hermit, but, given what the rest of them are about to encounter, they’re going to need a stiff belt now and then.

It won’t be long before someone does. The Egyptians brewed beer - well, more of a alcoholic gruel. Most premodern societies did as the alcohol tended to kill off the various bugs that got into just about everything else. So beer, wine, etc was safer to drink than the water.

I’ve got a head start as you can see.
